Beginner Stained Glass Copper Foil Panel


Adult activities and classes / Create / Glass, Mosaic and Pottery -
Adult - Winter/Spring 2025

This class is designed for beginners who are interested in trying their hand at making stained glass. All the tools, glass and supplies are provided. Students will choose from a few simple patterns designed to teach the basics steps of following a pattern, cutting glass, grinding glass, copperfoiling and soldering. We try to make it easy and fun so you will enjoy the process of creating something beautiful that you can take home and hang in your window. Bring your own safety glasses and see the description of appropriate clothing to wear to class.

  • Please wear clothing with a smooth hard finished surface, like denim or t-shirt knit. Glass chips will stick in sweaters, fleece or lace.
  • Best to wear shirts with a high neckline.
  • Shoes should not have open toes, or open tops (like a slip-on), also leather is better than a mesh that would catch glass chips.

Lisa Schwartz

Instructor

Lisa a B.A. in Psychology from the U of M and an M.B.A. from the University of St. Thomas. She works full-time as an personal assistant, but has been doing stained glass on the side for over 40 years. In high school, she took every art class she could from Art History and Architecture. Then she took a Community Ed class in stained glass (a course not offered in the school curriculum). It was the perfect combination of art and craft. She drew her first window design on a napkin and it turned out so cool; she was hooked.

Over the years,she has made hundreds of windows from suncatchers to large installations. In 2006, she completed two window walls in a church in Cameroun, Africa that were 36' long by 8' high. In 2018, she went back to Africa to install seventeen panels she made in Minnesota the previous year. She has been teaching community ed classes for the past six years now and loves getting other people enthusiastic about the art.

Lisa lives in Columbus,MN . She is married and has two grown sons and two grandsons.
